This camera looks out over Mirror Lake in Lake Placid, a village in the Adirondack Mountains of northern New York. It is a useful check before a trip, or simply a calm view of water and forest from anywhere in the world.
A village between lakes and mountains
Lake Placid sits in the high peaks of the Adirondacks, roughly 570 metres above sea level. It is best known as a winter sports town that hosted the Winter Olympics twice, and its setting combines still lakes, dense conifer and hardwood forest, and steep wooded ridges. Mirror Lake lies right beside the village centre, so the water is often calm and reflects the surrounding hills, which gives the place its name.
What to watch and when
The camera shows the lake and its shoreline as a live stream, so the view changes with the light, the weather and the season. Early morning often brings mist on the water, while late afternoon light warms the hills. In summer you may see boats or paddlers on calm days, and in winter the lake can be frozen and snow covered. Conditions shown depend on the weather at the time of viewing.
Climate and getting around
Summers are mild and pleasant, while winters are cold and snowy, which suits skiing and snowshoeing. Spring and autumn can be changeable. The village is compact and walkable. Nearby cameras on VizCams include Lower St. Regis Lake, Newcomb and Bridgeview Harbor Marina, which offer other views of the region's lakes.
